Preparation for Health Screening
What to Bring (if applicable)
- All medical records, including recent x-ray/s, laboratory results, current medication

General Advice
- You will need to fast (8-10 hrs) the night before your scheduled appointment. This means you should avoid consuming any food or beverages, with the exception of plain water.
- The purpose of fasting is to achieve accurate results for your blood tests for glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides.
- Please help yourself to the light refreshments provided once your blood has been drawn by our laboratory technologist/phlebotomist.
- The duration of your health screening is about 2 – 3 hours.
Ladies
- It is advisable to book your appointment around Day 10 – 14, after your last menstrual period.
- Please inform the nurses and your doctor if you are menstruating on the day of your appointment. In which case, you will not be able to do your urine, stool, Pap Smear tests as the presence of blood in these tests would produce inaccurate results.
In-house Treadmill
- The test takes about 45 minutes to an hour, excluding waiting time.
- Please bring along your jogging attire, towel and running shoes for this test.
- Avoid having a heavy meal before undergoing this test.
- If you are on heart medication, please inform the staff/nurse before she put you on the treadmill.
- As certain medications need to be stopped prior to the treadmill appointment, it is advisable to check with the doctor if you are unsure.

Doctor's Review
- At the end of your physical examination, we will arrange with you your next appointment to attend a medical review with the examining physician. This will usually take place less than two weeks from your first appointment.
- During the second appointment, the physician will go through the results of your health screen and address any concerns which you may have and outline future management, if necessary.
